In the early evening, police received reports of a shooting near a square in southern Stockholm and discovered two victims with gunshot wounds. Two more people were found injured nearby.

Police said no motive has been identified.

The adolescent died as a result of his injuries, while the others were rushed to the hospital.

A spokeswoman for Stockholm police, Towe Hagg said, “The person who died at the scene is a boy aged 15”.

In a statement, police stated, “Another 15-year-old boy was injured, as were a male and a woman aged between 45 to 65”.

According to police, an inquiry into the murder and attempted murder has been initiated.

Another three persons were hurt in two separate gunshots in the Stockholm area on Friday.
